A landmark work of narrative non-fiction, Sybil chronicles the astonishing true story of Sybil Dorsett, a woman diagnosed with multiple personality disorder who harboured sixteen distinct personalities within a single consciousness. Flora Rheta Schreiber presents a gripping and meticulously researched account drawn from years of sessions between Sybil and her psychiatrist, Dr. Cornelia B. Wilbur, uncovering the severe childhood trauma at the root of her extraordinary condition. Written with the propulsive tension of a thriller, the book argues powerfully for a greater understanding of psychological trauma and its long-lasting effects on the human mind. Originally published in 1973, it became a cultural phenomenon and was subsequently adapted into a critically acclaimed television film, bringing the complexities of dissociative identity disorder to a wide mainstream audience. Sybil remains one of the most compelling and important psychological case studies ever committed to print.
